As far as wondering, "why a Kia?" bear in mind that for many years, the most commonly stolen cars were fairly low-end Hondas. Why? They are all over the place, and the stolen cars can be used to supply parts under the table. The parts probably sell for a lot more than the assembled car would.
Look at whatever cars are popular in higher crime neighborhoods. Those models are strong candidates for theft for parts.
OTOH, a non-descript car makes a better getaway vehicle, so those are strong candidates for pre-robbery acquisition.
